A young man's choice of what was traditionally a woman's career, and a
very traditional trade school at which to learn it, leads to him taking on
a very untraditional role in his quest for success.
The first day of class Greg a little nervous. The 20-something college
dropout was pinning a lot his hopes for the future on a new vocation.
After leaving college mid-way though his freshman year, Greg hopped from
one part time job to another. Fed up by the following summer, he visited a
career counselor to help find some direction as to where he should turn
next.
Taking a couple of self-assessments, an aptitude test and personality type
test seemed to give Greg some sense of direction when it came to what sort
of career he should pursue. He had a decent head for business, great
people skills, and an amazing creative flair coupled with a strong sense
for detail.
What did this all point to? Discussions with the advisor laid the ground
work for Greg to realize some other things about himself. His eye for
detail was actually part of a penchant he had for perfectionism which he
had been repressing. The anxiety of being a wallflower in high school and
failing in college had held Greg back from living up to his potential. The
only sign of this underlying personality trait was the close attention he
constantly paid to his own appearance. You would never see Greg with a
hair out of place or any way other than impeccably groomed and dressed.
His days on the social sidelines in high school had helped Greg develop a
couple of other traits. First, he sympathized with the less popular and
not among the "beautiful" people. The ones who fit into that category
strived to stand out and be more beautiful. And most of these people were
girls. Greg was the nice guy, the confidant, the boy who was always there
to listen for the girls who generally didn't belong to the cliques and
didn't get asked to school dances or out on dates.
While he yearned for the cheerleaders and the social butterflies, Greg
generally enjoyed close friendships with his prom queen wannabe friends.
The girls talked to him about things they would have liked to have been
talking to the popular girls about: music, movies and pop culture in
general including female fashion and what's hot and what's not.
Again, Greg was a listener. He wasn't particularly predisposed to interest
in such subjects. But it's what his friends were talking about so he
developed some insight and savy on the subjects thanks to his feminine
counterparts.
"What should I wear?"
"How is my hair like this?"
"Does this make me look fat?"
Those were questions Greg would typically field on a daily basis. His
opinion grew to become one his classmates had grown to count on.
"How do you think I would look in this?" one girl would ask, flipping
through a catalog of dresses, prom gowns or lingerie.
"Do you think I could pull this off?" another would prod, pointing out a
fashion model with impeccable makeup and flawless hair. He had
occasionally thought that making one of his plain Janes over into the
homecoming queen would be the answer to both of their dilemmas.
Back to the present: that "makeover" concept was something that had
apparently stuck with Greg. You see, this was his first day of beauty
school. He would be attending the Insitute of Style to study both
cosmetology and hair care. Following that, he hoped to pursue an associate
or bachelor degree in business management so that he could run his own
salon some day. The stereotype that any man in such a business was not a
man at all did not bother him. Plus, that perception was one that was
shrinking more and more anyway.
So it was off to beauty school for Greg -- or vocational school as he
preferred to call it. Despite reassurance from friends and family that
there was nothing wrong with it, and his own realization that it was
silly, Greg did have some hangups about the feminine connotations that
doing hair and makeup stirred.
He was determined to be a good student and succeed. And nothing was going
to keep him from achieving his goals.
